About FindExpatWealth
We're a small, focused team of finance professionals and former expats on a mission to make specialist financial advice accessible to every British national living abroad.
Our Story
FindExpatWealth was born out of frustration. In 2019, our founder Davin McMillan was living in Dubai and trying to consolidate several UK pensions he'd built up over a 15-year career. The experience was, frankly, awful.
FCA-regulated UK advisers couldn't help because he was a non-resident. Local advisers didn't understand British pension schemes. And the "international" advisers he did find seemed more interested in selling products than solving problems.
So he built something better. FindExpatWealth is a free, impartial matching platform that connects UK expats with British financial advisers who genuinely specialise in cross-border pensions, investments, and tax planning.
In 2022, we became part of the FindAdviser Group, giving us access to a broader network of vetted professionals and the resources to serve expats in over 50 countries. Today, more than 10,000 British nationals abroad have used our platform to find specialist advice.

What We Stand For
Trust & Transparency
We're not financial advisers – we're matchmakers who connect you with vetted professionals. No hidden fees, no conflicts of interest.
Client-First Approach
We take time to understand your unique expat situation – your country, pension type, and goals – before recommending an adviser.
Rigorous Vetting
Every adviser in our network holds recognised qualifications (CII, CISI, CFA) and demonstrated experience with non-resident British clients.
Built by Expats
Our founder and several team members are British expats themselves. We've lived the challenges you're facing right now.
Affiliations & Accreditations
Our network advisers hold recognised qualifications and we partner with leading professional bodies to maintain the highest standards.
Financial Conduct Authority
UK-based advisers in our network are authorised and regulated by the FCA. We encourage all clients to verify credentials on the FCA Register before proceeding.
Chartered Insurance Institute
The gold standard for UK financial planning qualifications. Our adviser vetting process requires CII Diploma level or equivalent as a minimum.
Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment
Many advisers in our network hold CISI qualifications, demonstrating expertise in investment management and wealth planning for international clients.
Association of International Life Offices
We work alongside AILO member firms who provide cross-border investment solutions specifically designed for expatriates and non-residents.
HMRC Recognised Pension Schemes
Our pension transfer specialists work exclusively with HMRC-recognised QROPS and internationally compliant SIPP providers for secure cross-border transfers.
Our Compliance Commitment
FindExpatWealth.com is a trading name of the FindAdviser Group. We are not a financial adviser. We are an impartial referral platform that connects UK expats with independent, qualified British advisers who specialise in cross-border financial planning.
Every adviser in our network operates independently and is responsible for their own regulatory obligations. We encourage all clients to verify their adviser's credentials via the FCA Register or relevant international regulatory body.
